#1 Good cause for arrest I would say.

#2 The poor man could have been a simple, well meaning, autograph collector...

Who are we to judge?

#5 Dear jihadi:

How are you? I am fine. Well, if you don't count being hunted like an animal day and night and living in cold, filthy caves and dodging hellfire missles just to get from point A to point B. But otherwise, I am fine.

Hugs and kisses to Zarqawi.

Love, Sammie.

#6 Sounds like a candidate for Yale.

Jeebus, don't joke like that. I imagine that application deadlines are coming near. Who knows...maybe with an endorsement from Zawahri and Omar, they can meet the ~~4th grade~~ high requirements for entry, lol.

#8 The courier may not even know who the letters are from and to whom they are addressed. Don't shoot the messenger.

#9 Yup, john, if these maroons have any of their juvenile waterfowl aligned, these letters were blind dropped at a site that cannot be backchained to the letterwriter's actual point of origin.

Still, it might be rather satisfying to put the carrier's feet to the fire for just a little while.
